POLL: Who Should Win Songwriter of the Year at the 2019 ACM Awards?

At the 2019 ACM Awards, the Songwriter of the Year category includes some of the finest writing talent in the country music industry, names that appear on many of the songs and albums that are also nominated for awards this year. In 2018, Rhett Akins took home the coveted trophy, and while he's not on the list this year, many of the songwriters who were nominated alongside him have returned to the category.

Chase McGill, meanwhile, has been making big waves lately with the Grammy Awards-nominated songs that he helped write, including Cole Swindell's "Break Up in the End" and Little Big Town's "When Someone Stops Loving You." Josh Osborne, too, returns as an ACM Songwriter of the Year nominee in 2019, thanks to his contributions to big songs by Blake Shelton ("Turning Me On"), Chesney ("Get Along") and Hunt ("Downtown's Dead"), among many others.
